NCT ID NCT06652802
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a mobile app to a nurse-led counseling program helps men with alcohol use disorder stay sober longer. About 74 men aged 18-59 who own an Android phone will take part. The goal is to see if the app reduces relapse rates over three months compared to counseling alone.
